Brian Johnson’s A Life on the Road with . . .
Sky Arts, 9pm
The title of this series of rock interviews takes on a more literal meaning this week. Pink Floyd’s drummer Nick Mason is a classic-car nut and is as keen to tell the AC/DC singer about his collection as he is to discuss Floyd’s live years. His vehicles have proved useful — he used his stunning 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, bought in 1973 for £35,000 (now worth £40 million), as collateral to finance the band’s 1987-89 tour after an intra-band legal spat meant that no one would underwrite it. We also see Mason take the car for a spin. We can but dream.
